The Dark Web is a thriving underground marketplace where cybercriminals buy, sell, and trade stolen data, hacking tools, and illegal services. From compromised corporate accounts to full identity kits, businesses are unwittingly funding cybercrime by failing to secure their data.

We’ll uncover how stolen data is monetized, why businesses are at risk, and how Radweber helps prevent data leaks before they hit the Dark Web.

How Cybercriminals Profit from Stolen Data

1. Credential Dumping & Account Takeovers

• What happens? Hackers steal login credentials via phishing, brute force attacks, or malware and sell them on Dark Web marketplaces.

• Who’s buying? Competitors, identity thieves, and scam operators purchase these credentials to hijack accounts or commit fraud.

• Example: Stolen corporate email accounts sell for as little as $5, while banking logins go for hundreds of dollars.

2. Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS)

• What happens? Cybercriminals rent out ransomware tools to less skilled hackers in exchange for a share of the ransom.

• Who’s buying? Low-level cybercriminals looking for easy profits without writing malware.

• Example: The LockBit ransomware group made millions by licensing its ransomware to attackers worldwide.

3. Selling Stolen Personal & Corporate Data

• What happens? Hacked databases, customer records, and employee details are sold in bulk.

• Who’s buying? Competitors, scammers, and fraudsters looking to exploit victims for financial gain.

• Example: A hacked healthcare database with hundreds of thousands of patient records can be sold for as little as $500 on Dark Web forums.
